DOUGLAS FIR CHRISTMAS TREES

Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) has been the traditional Christmas tree species from Oregon since the 1920's, when most Christmas trees came from the forest. Now almost all real Christmas trees are grown on tree farms like our environmentally certified family farm near Philomath, Oregon. Douglas fir Christmas trees remain one of the most commonly used species in the United States.

Douglas fir are noted for their dense full bushy shape and fine soft green needles. They have a distinctive pine-like scent, and that fragrance seems to last through the entire Christmas season. With a classic uniform Christmas tree shape that is easily decorated, Douglas fir are able to support a large number of Christmas tree lights if you really like to light it up!

On the farm, Douglas fir Christmas Trees grow over a wider range of conditions than other species, so more fields are available for Douglas fir than Noble Fir which has a more narrow range. An eight foot tall Douglas fir Christmas tree is usually about six or seven years old, which is faster by at least a year or two than Noble Fir. And because they grow more quickly than the true firs, Douglas fir is a mid priced Christmas tree that offers exceptional value. At our Los Angeles Christmas tree lot, we have Douglas fir available up to about 10 feet tall.
